 After repeating the texhash command and re-starting lyx, document

 In the dialogue window 'preferences', the 'texinputs prefix' was empty
 originally, but changed to:

 /usr/share/texmf /usr/local/share/texmf


Have also discovered that in the dialogue window 'tex information',
bibtex directory (/usr/share/texmf/bibtex) is detected but not the
latex styles nor classes.

replace upper case acronyms with small caps case

Is it possible to select an acronym e.g. ABC and replace all copies in
a document with the latex code \textsc{abc}?

Thanks

 It should be possible. Look into advanced search  replace. Otherwise,
 use regexp and a text editor.

Tried to use advanced find and replace; the result was \textsc{abc} in
the pdf document!

Then tried to open the lyx file using a text editor and replaced using
the editor. The result was that the entire acronym disappeared!

Have just realised that after export to latex plain, unable to redo so
will have to reinsert the acronyms manually. This is bad.

 In the document settings you select the citation engine

How to use a different engine, for example to use another style such

Does this mean that it is not possible to use a style that is not

Neither of these engines are compatible with author-date style

In writer I can format text with a style and in turn edit that style,

Re: edit lyx file in text editor

Charles,

I looked at my (basic) lyx file in a text editor and it seems a simple
structure of (custom?) latex type commands (e.g. \layout).

Reading the extended manual, I guess that you suggest I should export
my lyx file into latex, edit the latex file and then import into lyx
when I am able to use lyx?

Thanks in advance.
